Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characteristics of Ligands Based on Quinolin-8-Ol as Useful Precursors for Alq3 Type Complexes
In order to develop reliable methods for the synthesis of various 5-substituted-8-oxyquinoline derivatives for the preparation of Alq3-type complexes, we have improved the reaction conditions on some syntheses described in the literature, successfully synthesized new ligands based on quinolin-8-ol and characterized their chemical structures by NMR. Some of the synthesized quinolin-8-ol derivatives containing incorporated bulky triphenyl or tert-butyl groups showed blue luminescence in the solid state due to the possible aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) with a maximum wavelength around 510 nm. More detailed light-emission property investigation of the mentioned bulky group con…
Glassy 2-(1-benzyl-2-styryl-6-methylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene) fragment containing 1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione and pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione derivatives with light-emitting and amplified spontaneous emission properties
A series of 2-(1-benzyl-2-(styryl)-6-methylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene) fragment containing glassy organic compounds have been synthesized from relevant luminescent 4H-pyran-4-ylidene derivatives and investigated as potential solution processable emitters. Glass transition temperatures of synthesized 1H-pyridine compounds are above 100°C with thermal stabilities higher than 260°C. In the solutions of dichloromethane their absorption bands are in the range from 350 nm to 500 nm with photoluminescence from 500 nm to 650 nm. In a contrary to the 4H-pyran-4-ylidene derivatives, the incorporation of various electron acceptor fragments within the 1H-pyridine fragment containing molecules only slightly …
HAPPY Dyes as Light Amplification Media in Thin Films
A series of 1Hamorphous tri-phenyl pyridine (HAPPY) dyes have been synthesized from luminescent triphenyl-group-containing 2-methyl-6-styryl-substituted-4H-pyran-4-ylidene derivatives in reactions with benzylamine and investigated for suitability as solution-processable light-emitting medium components in thin films for amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). Conversion of a 4H-pyrane ring into a 1H-pyridine fragment enables aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) behavior in the target products and slightly increases thermal stability, glass transition temperatures, and ASE efficiency with PLQY up to 15% and ASE thresholds as low as 46 μJ/cm2 in neat spin-cast films, although thermal…
